mouse and keyboard

now that I understand how to program keyboard functions
in B3d I want my game to use keyboard and mouse

how do you setup the mouse in B3d?

=mouseX()
=mouseY()
=mouseDown(1)
=mouseXSpeed()
etc...

Help/Command Reference/2D - Categories/Input

is this it for the mouse command isn't there suppose to be something before the = sign

What type of game are you planning on?

You do know that if you highlight a Blitz keyword in your code and then press the 'F1' twice it will give you help on that keyword and also give you an example program?
